I sometimes use something like this for Bach music: a hidden appoggiatura that 
leaves the slur visible (and manipulate that slur a bit)

scoop = #(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?)
#{
  \once \override Slur #'extra-offset = #'(-.8 . 1.5)
  \once \override Slur #'rotation = #'(-10 0 0)
  \hideNotes \appoggiatura $note \unHideNotes 
#})

\relative c'' {
  g4 \scoop f e f2
}

This scoop function needs a note that is used to place a hidden appoggiatura. 
See the attached png example.

best regards,
